Lower perf with TB5 vs TB4

2 Upvotes

Title. I'm running a MS-02 Ultra 235HX with a NIMO 7600M XT eGPU. I get 23k in Firestrike on the TB4 port, and barely 19k on the TB5 ports (both of em). 3Dmark bandwidth test shows 5.8 Gb/s with TB5 and 3.0 Gb/s with TB4. My 226v Lunar Lake laptop actually gets 3.2-3.4gb/s on its TB4 and gets 24-25k in Firestrike to match it. So I know the 3dmark results are accurate and I've checked the GPUs boosting to 120w.

(Scores talked about are Graphics score specifically, ofc)

Anyone got any idea what's going on? I'm about to just say fuck it and blow some money on a OCULink PCIe card and nice cable. I don't think buying another TB5 cable would be worth it, they're like $80.

Does MSI RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio (or other 3-fan beefy cards) actually fit in Razer Core X?

I'm looking to buy a GeForce RTX 3070 for my Razer Core X (v1) enclosure. I found a decent deal on an MSI RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio, but I'm having second thoughts about the physical dimensions and clearances.

​I asked a few different AI tools about this, and they are completely split: one claims it will fit fine, while others say it won't slide in properly. So I really need some real human feedback from people who have actually tried this setup!

​According to the specs:

​MSI Gaming X Trio length: 323 mm (Razer Core X max is ~330 mm)

​Height: 140 mm

​Thickness: 56 mm (2.7 slots)

​On paper, 323 mm looks like it might fit, but I'm worried about two specific things:

​Height clearance with PCIe power cables attached: Will two 8-pin connectors/cables prevent the inner enclosure tray from sliding back in?

​Front frame clearance: Does the thick fan shroud hit the front edges when pushing the tray in?

​Has anyone here actually tried putting an MSI Gaming X Trio (or similar chunky cards like ASUS ROG Strix / Gigabyte AORUS) into a Razer Core X? Did it work natively, or did you have to use 180-degree low-profile power adapters, remove the shroud, or mod the enclosure?

​If it's a total no-go, what are the best high-power / good OC 3070 models (like EVGA FTW3 / XC3 or ASUS TUF) that you've personally managed to fit effortlessly?
